So,
Here's another thing that's been lying around in my "
hold pile"
for a while.
I came up with a dumb idea for doors whose state toggles depending on whether or not a particular kind of entity is in the room (e.g., it toggles when there are/aren't any roaches in the room). They're called extinction doors, and this is more or less a tiny demonstration hold for them that I never completely finished. Though, honestly, I suspect I could just put a blue door and hold end stairs in this and consider it complete.
More info: I made the simplifying decision to specify that extinction doors exist in only two shapes: 1x3 vertical and 3x1 horizontal. Also, there is a different custom character for each of those two orientations for each kind of entity that I made one for. Sometimes their activation lags a turn behind the relevant entity appearing/disappearing from the room because of unavoidable turn processing order shenanigans. They have custom graphics intended to very clearly and wordlessly convey their effect, although if you use them in your hold you may have to ask permission since said custom graphics use the graphics of the default element in question. I'll have to ask permission too, if/whenever I decide to full-publish this mess.
Yes, the "
template"
of these makes "
slayer doors"
easy to add if you wanted.
As usual, you're free to use/modify the custom thing as desired, just please give me credit for the originals.
Let me know what you think! Of the element, and/or the puzzles I made using it.
